Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Muscle pain or weakness: If muscle discomfort becomes noticeable after taking the medication, consider taking this medicine at bedtime.

Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet is a combination medicine that works in the body as follows:

Atorvastatin (10 mg): This statin works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This enzyme plays a key role in producing cholesterol inside your body. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively reduces the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood while increasing the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.
Ramipril (2.5 mg): This ACE inhibitor works by blocking the action of an enzyme that narrows blood vessels. Through this action, ramipril helps lower blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart.

Pregnancy

Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet is not recommended if you're pregnant. If you're planning to conceive, discuss this with your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet is contraindicated for breastfeeding or lactating women. Discuss with your doctor to understand potential risks and benefits.

Allergy

Children

Caution is advised while giving Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects.

Blood pressure-lowering medications: Medicines like atenolol and losartan can potentially enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect of ramipril, leading to an increased risk of low blood pressure or hypotension.
Cholesterol-lowering medications: If you take fibrates or niacin along with Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet, it could intensify the cholesterol-lowering effect of atorvastatin and possibly lead to side effects.
Antibiotics: Erythromycin or clarithromycin can interact with Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet, potentially altering the effects of both medicines.
Antifungal medications: Ketoconazole or itraconazole may interact with Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet and could increase the risk of side effects.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablets than you should, you might experience symptoms like severe dizziness, fainting, or muscle weakness. If these symptoms persist, please inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Cardace Protect 2.5 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, leave out the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never double up on doses; always consult your doctor if you're unsure what to do.
